ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – MARCH 30, 2015 15 <br /> <br />businesses and noted parking times may vary depending on business hours. She questioned why <br />the Council should consider approval of the plat when the site was not currently in compliance <br />with the B-2 design regulations. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler reported that properties in the B-2 District are only required to <br />comply with these new design regulations if requesting a significant change to a building or site. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik noted that the City could not require existing businesses in the B-2 district <br />to adhere to the recently approved design regulations, but these guidelines would be followed by <br />all new plats and site redevelopments. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woodburn believed that the empty and half empty pallets behind the <br />Frattallone’s building should be addressed. He thought that the south side of Lot 3 should be <br />cleaned up. He questioned if the applicant supported action on this item being delayed until April <br />13th. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik stated that the delay was requested by the applicant. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler explained that Tom Frattallone was out of town this week and <br />therefore could not attend this evening’s meeting to address the Council’s questions. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned who would be completing the demising wall. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher discussed the condition surrounding the <br />demising wall. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked what Wellington Management could do to address the unsightly <br />mess behind the Frattallone’s building. <br /> <br />David Bergstrom, Wellington Management, explained that he was addressing this concern with <br />Frattallone’s and understood this was part of building management. He stated that additional <br />language may have to be added to the lease in order for the rear of the building to remain sightly. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if the City had a fine system in place. <br /> <br />City Administrator Klaers reported that the City does not have a fine system in place. <br /> <br />Mr. Bergstrom did not believe that he needed to be fined. He commented that he would bring <br />this concern back to his management in order to ensure that the rear of the building was kept in <br />better order. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve Planning Case 15-002 for a Preliminary Plat and Planned <br />Unit Development Amendment at 3527-3557 Lexington Avenue North, based <br />on the findings of fact and submitted plans, as amended by the twelve (12) <br />conditions in the March 30, 2015, Report to the City Council.
